What if a Middle East country wanted to build a nuclear bomb but they knew that it could not be done indigenously. They could build it in a sympathetic ideologically aligned country where no prying eyes from space are turned to see what is happening. When the bomb is completed, how can it be transported to a staging area? It would be impossible via normal shipping methods because of the radiation detection net at all ports of entry. A novel idea is hatched to use a commercial airliner to transport the device without any alarm or detection of the bomb. What could be next? Having served it's usefulness the 777 would be melted down and all traces of evidence disposed of. Now what should we be paying attention to, the plane or the bomb????
What if Iran supplied the fissile material and the triggers?
